Hey guys,

I know this is old but for those of you that had (or have) an HTC One S burried somewhere and wanted to update a bit with the latest stuff (which is my case since I'll have to return my business cellphone in a few weeks) : it happened to me as well after doing something wrong (not sure what that was exactly, I run a factory reset from the bootloader where I shouldn't, then restored using the RUU mentioned below, and boom, no 3G anymore in CM 12.1 after reflashing the rom).

Flashed every radios I could find without success, until I came up on that thread, read carefully from the beginning and suspense... yes... there was a fix lying inside !

Thanks very much for the help, that's still working.

FYI I used the /RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe from androidruu then the firmware from the OTA zip with the same versions, same download site.

Cheers !

need help

hello

i flashed a t-mobile RUU 2 days ago and am stuck of 2g

i tried to download the t-mobile firmware but the dropbox site given is saying empty folder

can someone pls help me by send the t-mobile firmware used here.

thns
[HTC One S] Dolour:
Flashed exactly that RUU, since its been the one with the highest version number i could find, with no luck. =(

Is there something else you did, wich propably didnt seem noteworthy , that might have solved it?

/edit: *duh* just notice you sayd you flashed the firmware from the OTA.

now ive only got 2 questions:

1. wheres that download page your talking about?

and 2. how do you flash that firmware package?

only find dead links on that topic, like so often for the one s. even the device essentials page contains mostly obsolete links.

they really dont make this stuff easier for us allready burdened folx. :p
[HTC One S] Dolour:
*bump*

flashing ruus doesent seem to do anything, not with s-on or s-off... =(

anyones got a working mmcblk0p20 for unbranded euro s4's?

coz all that ppl seem to share are the ones for t-mobile devices...

/edit heres a (supposed) TMO mmcblk0p20 for those of you who cant find one...
[HTC One S] Flippy498:
For the unbranded ville with firmware version 3.16.401.8*:

mmcblk0p20**

* That's the one with hboot 2.15.

** I zipped the file because I wasn't allowed to upload it otherwise.
[HTC One S] Dolour:
that downloadlink is restricted to ppl with special permissions.
[HTC One S] Flippy498:
Link should be fixed.

I have this same problem here. But the different is my handset is HTC One M7, s-off, unlocked, os 4.4.

I lost the 3G connection after i flash rom CM 11.

Is there any chance i can use this method for my M7 guys? Does the "mmcblk0p20" file compatible for my M7?

(Sorry for my bad english, and thanks for the answers).
[HTC One S] Flippy498:
The answer is both times no unless you really badly want to own a fancy new paperweight. (So don't flash these files. They're device and firmware specific. Otherwise you may brick your phone.)
[HTC One S] marcin10217:

HTC One S T-mobile US stuck on 2G

Hello,

I've done all the previous steps and I had problems finding a good firmware for my phone.

Then once there issue "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

Then "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" ( Region Specific)

Then "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

Wiped my internal memory (this was per the instructions of the original thread w/ this fix)

rebooted system, let it fully boot and sit for a few mins

powered down and put my SIm back in and rebooted

[HTC One S] JN3141:
Okay, following on from the flashing radios through the codf4ther's method in my previous post (#16), I tried flashing just the whole firmware.zip (from the JB OTA zip instead of the ICS one), but it fails at flashing the sbl1 files, saying that the verification failed. Does anyone have any idea what those files are and or if they would affect my phone in anyway?
[HTC One S] cannondale0815:
Did you try reverting s-off back to s-on?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38267667
[HTC One S] JN3141:
Yes, I have, but it has absolutely no effect on the radio unfortunately.
[HTC One S] Fofff:
If you are s-off, try to change CID (you can do it from fastboot), than install a RUU (.exe file and not only the baseband)!
[HTC One S] JN3141:
I have tried that, even with multiple RUU's, but with no success.
[HTC One S] Fofff:
Sorry can't help... :(
[HTC One S] JN3141:
Its okay, any reply is better than no reply :silly:

Tapatalked from my HTC One S running CM10, that is also stuck on EDGE :/
[HTC One S] cannondale0815:
If you haven't already done so, I would try restoring stock recovery, do a full factory wipe and also wipe the sd storage, afterwards do an ruu.

Note that I said stock recovery, not CWM or TWRP.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Also, did you try a different SIM card?
[HTC One S] real187:
does the ruu install? go through the whole process?

do you still have warranty? (you can allways return to stock an call htc)

your certain its not a hardware failure?

Have you reset/check your apn setting?
[HTC One S] JN3141:
I've tried all of that with no success.

The RUU does go through fully, but doesn't affect the situation. As for warranty, I still have it, but I imported the phone, so I'd assume it wouldn't be covered. The store I bought it from was online, and the drop off point for the warranty can't be reached by me. And yes, definitely not hardware, as one reboot I even connected to the 3G, got onto Facebook, then it cut out. The APN settings are right as well.

Tapatalked from my HTC One S running CM10, that is also stuck on EDGE :/
[HTC One S] real187:
so when the ruu runs, the device reboots several times, and you have messages like writing system on screen etc.

i would still try calling htc about the warranty (in own country and country of purchase), you never know.

(you can even ask if somebody (you know in country of purchase) who is willing to help you with receiving the pakkage/letting htc pick it up).

what countrys are we talking about? (usa/eu)

that you can connect to 3g for a while, doesnt have meen that the hardware is 100% oke, for example it may schort out after a while, or the antenna is fukd. as far as i know its a full SoC (system on a chip) but it might can be something internal?

as you can change the software with no change of any usability, the software still needs 100% working hardware.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Can you check and make sure that your IMEI is intact. Dial *#06# and make sure it's still there. It should start with 3599.

Also, can you put the phone into wcdma only and turn roaming on and see if you can pick up a 3g/4g signal.

One more thing to try is to get into phone info like you did before (*#*#4636#*#*), hit the menu button, pick band selection then choose AUS. That will set your phone to look for WCDMA on 2100 & 850 only. It will be locked in this mode until you reboot it.
[HTC One S] Mr.Nigma...:
i'ts not because of s offing ! it happens when security flags change! dont know why but thats the only connection i found :)
[HTC One S] JN3141:
Yes, the RUU runs completely through, reboots multiple times.

As for warranty, my country (Australia) only has the S3 model, so they wouldn't be able to source parts like that, and if they replace my phone, it would be an S3 model, so I'd rather not go there. As for origin of my phone, it's from Canada (as far as I know), but then my phone was bought from a store in Hong Kong, which claims its from Australia. I don't know anyone from Canada, and the cost and hassle of mailing it halfway across the world doesn't seem worth it. :/

My IMEI doesn't start with 3599, but its the same as the one inside of the cover of my phone, next to the SIM card slot, so I'm assuming that's fine. WCDMA only mode with roaming still can't pick up a 3G signal, and I can't seem to select AUS in the band selection, only option available is AUTOMATIC.

I'm not sure here, but isn't S-off just turning off the security flags, which means that the security flags are being changed in the process...? So are you saying it is or it is not because of S-off...?
[HTC One S] cannondale0815:
Maybe you should read his message right above your reply.
[HTC One S] rufh_s:
having a bigger issue than just edge, getting bootloops, but actually it takes me to the home screen, for around a minute or so it runs perfectly ,but then it reboots

here's My post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176529

dont mean to divert the discussion from here, but just wanted to highlight as its related to After S-OFF issues

I am also posting here as after reading here tried the IMEI no. but when I typed *#06# it showed nothing in the dialog box :-S
[HTC One S] dc211:
I'm out of ideas for you that are realistic. There does seem to unintended side effects from the S-off (Security flag off) process for certain phones. A variety of different issues have been reported. As for the only option being "AUTOMATIC" in band selection that is going to vary in different ROMS. I know CM10 only shows Automatic, but when I had Viper on my phone it showed AUTOMATIC & USA. I don't think there is much of a chance of it working but I would still try if it was me. Simply because you're running out of options.

If it was me and I was willing to spend money. I would JTAG everything back to stock and check if it works then. If I wasn't trying to spend money I would contact Beaups and see if he has advice. I would also seek out how to get a hold of the first 3 partitions on the phone and see if those can be flashed. I think that is where all the low level stuff on the phone rests. Another thing I would try is to get a full dump of all the partitions from a stock One S and start comparing them to yours looking for anything that is out of place.

Based on all the things you've tried we know your problem isn't in a partition that a RUU flashes but one of the ones it doesn't. Keep us updated though.

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

If no IMEI showed check mmcblk0p4 and make sure it's there. You can kinda follow the supercid guide if you don't know how to do it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911

Do steps 1-6 and stop. If you look at the picture on from the link the area that is blacked out is where the IMEI will be.
[HTC One S] rufh_s:
Can A NO IMEI result in a bootloop(the kind of it i get)?
[HTC One S] dc211:
No if the IMEI gets damaged the software should default to all 0's. I just read you're other thread my only advice to you is the same as my last reply to this one.

Possible Solution

My Case: I have a Telus (Wireless provider in Canada) HTC one s on stock rom, which I have unlocked and was using it with Rogers(a different provider). After the 4.0.4 or JB update the phone showed the issue, i.e. connect to H/3G for a minute and then Edge only. When I forced it to HSPA only, it connected to H and go to no signal in a couple of minutes.

Failed attempts: I talked to Telus/Fido/HTC customer service. After getting no suport, I rooted the device and flashed a couple of ROMs like ViperOneS and TrickDroid with their Boot images. No luck. I tried to get a superCID and flash Rogers RUU but I could not change the CID.

Possible Solution: I flashed the recently uploaded [ROM][S4][23MAR]-RootBox-Unofficial-4.2.2-AOKP/PA/CM . The phone is connected to 3g/H all the time now. Although the speed is not that great(~4Mbps). no issue so far, although I like the sense UI better.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2204170

If it also worked for someone else, please consider investigating it more and find out what the source of the problem is , in case you have the knowledge.
[HTC One S] bmb1983:
My phone was stuck on EDGE forever! I tried everything! S-OFF'd , flashing every single radio available, different HBOOTS, different stock and custom roms....Finally put the phone back to stock and sent it in on warranty.

Just got it back today and voila! The phone works fine now. They replaced the mainboard. Hardware fault by the looks of things. So, sending your phone back on warranty may be the only solution ( atleast that I can find ).

Good luck!
[HTC One S] vizin:
Hey man I'm very glad that you manage to get back 3g speed :)

When I read your post, I was like wow, finaly possible solution..

Unfortunately no luck here, still stuck on edge :(

My case is absolutely the same like yours - stuck on edge right after 4.0.4 update.

I did try pretty mutch everything. Hope it is not a hardware issue, at least from your post sounds like it's not.

Enjoy your 3g )

[HTC One S] bmb1983:

Uh, I didn't find a fix. I sent it back on warranty after going back to completely stock. Thats my only solution. Sorry!
[HTC One S] BrandonHamil:
I recently Ran a 4.0.4 RUU for Tmobile US and I have the EXACT same issue.

If you make a phone call it may kick to 3/4g but if you try to make a call after that it will not allow you to (radio is off and reads no network in range)... if you force it to search it will find it, however, when it does pick cell tower signal back up you are back to 2g and able to make calls (not at the same time of course).
[HTC One S] HOSer_hut:
Do you know which radio bands your carrier uses for 3g/4g? You may need to either get a radio or configure your radio to be able to access those bands. I am unsure which bands are used in Australia though, I hope you are able to find out what the issue is soon! I know how much 2g can frustrate.
[HTC One S] ROBBIE0528:
Have you solve this problem??? I'm working the same problem too~!
[HTC One S] BrandonHamil:
I think I found the issue... can others confirm?

I suspect I may have stumbled upon the problem

Go to Mobile Data / Access Point Names / T Mobile Data

scroll to the bottom

Do you see "APN protocol IPv4" just above APN enable/disable (which should be the last thing on the list?

Yeah, i don't see it on mine but I do see it on my wife's phone and my friend who works for T-Mobile

I'm not a genius but that could be important.
[HTC One S] achayo:
I have the same issue (after s-off/installing Viper, I could only connect to EDGE). I'm also T-mobile and I do not see the option for APN protocol either... but I don't know if this is some sort of menu redesign due to me being on viper rom now...Well... at least the EDGE is faster than dial up... I'm thinking about turning this phone in for warranty but I did unlock it... though I wonder if this current issue is a result of anything that I did. Let me know if you ever find a solution...!
[HTC One S] BrandonHamil:
I'm pretty sure this is something that is behind a partition and it's why it follows you from rom to rom now.

I'm going to RUU and ReLock tomorrow then do a warranty exchange at a Tmobile store; I'll confirm if this is a consistent issue even after the RUU.

Can someone tell us if this is part of a normal ROM build or if it's behind a partition and could the Tmobile 4.0.4 or Hboot/radio upgrade have also deleted this on some phones?

This is my friend's Stock One S that gets 4G!

Here is mine that is on EDGE/2G
[HTC One S] JN3141:
I have officially given up on this phone sadly enough. Cannot, for the life of me, get anything to work, and now it barely even gets 2G signal, mainly 1G, and to get 2G again, I need to give my phone a reset. :rolleyes: It's also been not receiving calls somehow, as a friend told me he tried to call me a few times, and he couldn't get through, nor was there any notification of any kind that my phone had been called whatsoever. :eek:

As for the APN settings, I have the APN protocol setting and changing it doesn't do anything, so I'd assume that's probably not at fault here.
[HTC One S] ROBBIE0528:
Try this~!!!!

I have the same problem~!!!! after I tried one month and today~!

Did that. After RUU, I tried getting the new JB OTA for T-mobile and I'm still on EDGE. I wish it was as easy as RUUing it... :(
[HTC One S] dr3amsINdigital:
I seem to be having a similar problem, except I never did S-OFF and can sometimes connect to 4G, but it quickly disconnects and reception is very low. Problem started after I ran the T-Mobile ICS RUU to go back to stock, installed T-Mobile security update OTA, then JB OTA.
[HTC One S] achayo:
Did they let you do the warranty exchange (because we unlocked the bootloader... our warranty should be void, right)?

Also, the rootbox rom made the speeds even worse if anything (was getting 200kbps, got 100 on rootbox).

Update version 2.35.531.10

Hi,

Have been (very closely) following this thread, since I too am facing a similar situation. T-mobile HTC One S, In India - Stuck on 2G.

Just came across an article (unable to hyperlink here) that points to some improvements (brought by update 2.35.531.10) including "Improvements to prevent devices from getting permanently stuck on 2G when updating."

Do you think this helps?

Thanks,

[HTC One S] dr3amsINdigital:
I have not read of anyone successfully fixing this. I think it needs to be sent in for warranty. :(
[HTC One S] booenson:
The same thing happened to my phone as well, after the 4.1.1 OTA Fido update. Noticed that my phone was stuck on edge, and after forcing it to 3G the signal would slowly go down until completely out of service. Flashed to TrickDroid 9.1 and still the same problem persists. Customer support told me to send the phone in for warranty but that's not really an option anymore. The only 'fix' I've find is temporary and that's just forcing 3G on/off several times while enabling and disabling data.
[HTC One S] skaters05:
I GOT 4G BACK on my HTC One S!!

I did not ever have S-OFF, but did lose 4G. I tried pretty much everything I could think of in terms of factory resets, flashing tons of different ROMs, bootloaders, even going completely stock again with RUU. I'm pretty sure it's a lost cause and a waste of time.

Solution: I relocked my bootloader and sent it in to HTC because I was still on warranty. They had it back to me in a week's time, and 4G now works fine. I'm going to try to find out what they did, whether it was hardware or not. Note: I did get it back with the bootloader being "locked", not "relocked".
[HTC One S] dr3amsINdigital:
Was your bootloader "Relocked" when you sent it in? I plan to send mine in, but I'm not sure if they'll repair it since mine says "Relocked".

I think I read that someone else that sent theirs in got their motherboard replaced.
[HTC One S] booenson:
So I've been more closely monitoring my phone and what I've found is that whenever my phone goes to sleep, it will go to edge. The problem is it's very slow switching back to 3G when it comes out of sleep. If I leave it on and it doesn't go to sleep, it'll stay on 3G. Also, to conserve battery it will stay on 3G until a certain speed threshold is reached and then it will switch to HSPA+, then once everything is done loading it will switch back to 3G.

I've tried fiddling around with different combinations of ro.ril.fast.dormancy=# and ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=# and neither seem to have any effect on this problem. It wasn't until the Rogers/Fido 4.1.1 JB OTA update that I started having this problem.

Hboot is 2.15 and baseband is 1.11.50.05.28. Rooted and running TrickDroid v9.1, but started having this problem before
[HTC One S] skaters05:
Yes, it showed "**RELOCKED**" when I sent it in.

I can't guarantee that it will work for everyone, but at least in my case they didn't seem to care.
[HTC One S] dr3amsINdigital:
What did you tell them when you called them? Last time I called, they didn't acknowledge it as a known issue and told me it was a problem with my carrier. Do you have T-Mobile? I'm certain what happened was the issue described here when I ran the ICS RUU for that version: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5224
[HTC One S] skaters05:
Yes, T-mobile pre-paid. I told them that my phone was only getting 2G EDGE in an area that definitely had 4G service. To "prove" it, I told them that A. I had tried other SIM cards in my phone and the issue persisted, B. I had tried my SIM card in a different phone and that 4G worked fine, C. I had gone to a T-Mobile store twice and they could not resolve the issue, and D. I had done a factory reset.

Good luck to you!
